Calendrier IDEA, 2014-15

From Text(s) to Book(s), 2012

From June 21-23 2012, IDEA, in association with SHARP (The Society for the History of Authorship, Reading & Publishing), hosted an international conference on the subject ‘From Text(s) to Book(s)’. See below for a wide selection of recorded presentations from this conference.

The conference organisers would like to thank all the participants for the quality of their work and for the generous and collegial atmosphere that characterised the event as a whole. Particular thanks go to the SHARP Executive Board and to the SHARP members who travelled to Nancy for the event, prior to this year’s International SHARP conference in Dublin. Special thanks also go the Lorraine Regional Council, to the city of Nancy and the Nancy Municipal Library, and to the Nancy Urban Community. Without the contributions from these public bodies the conference would simply not have been possible.

See here for a full report on the conference, with photos of the event.
